About this opportunity
The Minneapolis VA Healthcare System, under the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, is conducting a sources sought notice to identify vendors capable of providing Legionella testing and sampling services. The procurement requires vendors to perform comprehensive water sampling and testing across multiple VA facilities, including approximately 580 water samples from distal points such as sinks, showers, and ice machines, plus 380 annual dental waterline samples. Services must comply with VHA Directive 1061 and EPA Safe Drinking Water Act regulations, with all samples analyzed by a CDC Environmental Legionella Isolation Techniques Evaluation (ELITE) certified laboratory. Vendors must demonstrate capability through proof of qualifications, socio-economic category classification, and information regarding potential government contract vehicles for service delivery. The deadline for interested vendors to submit their capabilities and organizational information via email to theresa.thunder@va.gov is January 22, 2026, and this is a market research notice with no immediate contract award anticipated.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation, and no incumbent contractor information is identified in the notice. The contract will be structured as a Firm-Fixed Price arrangement requiring sterile sample collection, chain of custody procedures, and detailed reporting within 15 calendar days of sampling, with positive results notifications mandated within two working days. Sampling must occur quarterly for Legionella testing purposes. Vendors are required to provide responses addressing whether any requested services may be ordered against existing government contracts such as Federal Supply Schedule or GSA awards, and to disclose any planned subcontracting arrangements and associated percentages. No specific award value or budget range is provided in this sources sought notice, as this announcement is intended solely for market research and vendor capability assessment purposes.
